The same question has been asked about Eden Hazard for quite some time now.

No, not the one about what happened to his goalscoring last season. We're talking about this often-heard query: "Can Eden Hazard ever reach the level of Lionel Messi/Cristiano Ronaldo and become a truly world class footballer?"

Most people would assume the Belgian needs to score more goals and win more awards in order to be considered one of the most important players on Earth. But the clip above suggests the Chelsea winger has taken an alternative first step to elevating himself to that status…

…talking about himself in the third person.

The video shows Hazard talking to French TV after Chelsea's 2-1 win against West Ham. At one point, while analysing his team's form, the Belgian utters the wonderful words:

“Chelsea are stronger when Eden is at his best than when Eden is at his worst.”

Hmm…

Some people will claim no-one should ever talk about themselves in the third person; that it demonstrates a very unattractive arrogance.
